Johansson ups her property game

Avengers star Scarlett Johansson is thought to have snapped up a palatial four-bedroom home in Palisades, New York, for £3.03 million ($4 million).

A five-bedroom oceanfront home there had just been reduced from £6.4million to £6 million. But reports say the couple have instead opted for a home in the Rockland County hamlet; one with illustrious design credentials.

Known as the Ivy House, it was designed by architect and Palisades resident Eric Gugler — who was hired by Franklin D. Roosevelt to redesign the West Wing of the White House in the 1930s.

Covered in ivy, the home has wrought-iron balconies, gardens and a pool overlooking the Hudson river.

It spans a palatial 4,000sq ft, with four bedrooms and four bathrooms, and sits on a plot of just under an acre.

British-born TV and stage actress Brenda Forbes is among the home's previous owners, according to the New York Post, and Katherine Hepburn is said to have been a frequent guest.
